Moda Operandi is combatting summertime doldrums with “Shoe Week,” a new sales franchise that solely promotes fashion for the feet.
Seven advance trunk show sales have been scheduled to take place from Monday to Aug. 12. Some sales have a theme, like “Curb-to-Cab,” which focuses on impractical stiletto shoes in which one can barely walk.
Other sales highlight a single brand, as is the case with the site’s Jimmy Choo sale. Additional focuses of the week include mule styles and sneakers. New designer callouts for the week include labels A by Anabelle, Stella Luna and Saptodjojokartiko.
Moda’s vice president for nonapparel Jodi Kaplan explained of the emphasis on shoes: “It’s a growing category. Shoes get a lot of exposure, clients are definitely interested in wardrobing shoes. It’s been interesting to see the breadth of shoe styles our lady is interested in — everything from sneakers to heels.”
Kaplan said the site experiences near equal sales of shoes and handbags, and that she is “looking to grow both categories.”
Shoe Week trunk shows will remain on the live site for the duration of August.

No one needs to be reminded that life moves fast. This summer celebrity engagements do, too. Three much-photographed couples didn’t need much time to reveal they plan to marry.
Last month, Ariana Grande got a jump on the trend when she first flashed her engagement ring from Pete Davidson on Instagram. The pair only needed a few weeks to decide they were headed to happily-ever-after hood. Hailey Baldwin and Justin Bieber are also on board with the trend, as her estimated $ 500,000 rock makes clear. Although they met in 2009, their recent this-is-it courtship was said to be a monthlong affair. And Baldwin reportedly bought Bieber an engagement ring at Pristine Jewelers in Manhattan’s diamond district. Given Baldwin’s influencer reach, more twentysomethings may start buying engagement rings for their soon-to-be spouses, too.
Today brought mention of the latest pair reported to take the fast route — musician Nick Jonas and actress Priyanka Chopra. Both have tried their hand at modeling — John Varvatos for him and Manish Malhotra for her. Chopra is planning to publish her memoir “Unfinished” next year.
It is safe to say that each of the three newly engaged couple will blast past the $ 20,000 average wedding budget, given their

His more than 354,000 Instagram followers know him as Menswear Dog, but to his owner Yena Kim he is simply Bodhi.

On Wednesday, the pair stopped by Express’ first-to-retail work concept store in Manhattan, a store designed to provide shoppers with versatile work and after-work looks, to speak on a panel about building your own brand and what role clothes can play in that project.

Bodhi arrived dressed for the part, wearing the type of classic, yet fresh outfit that his fans have come to expect.

“Bodhi is wearing an Express shirt to showcase how versatile it can be. We are talking about career and style. I love Express because their items are very easy to style within your own wardrobe. So if you are someone that’s busy, you may not have two hours in a day to figure out your perfect outfit, but they make it so easy for you,” Kim said about how she and Bodhi make Express work for them.

It’s common for the Insta-famous pup to snag clothes from the men’s rack. Kim tells PEOPLE that she crafts many of the outfits that appear on Bodhi’s Instagram by restructuring men’s clothes to fit a dog or making custom looks herself.

“The good thing is he has a dedicated in-house tailor, which is me, so he can look amazing for any event ,” Kim says.

A former FIT student and Ralph Lauren employee, Kim has a fashion background that helped her naturally gravitate towards making clothes for Bodhi when he came into her life eight years ago.

Kim says that the Brooklyn-based canine “lit up” the first time she put clothes on him, and it’s been non-stop from there.

Shortly, after crafting her first outfits for Bodhi, Kim created an Instagram account for the pup, dubbing him Menswear Dog.

THE RIO LIFE: Frescobol Carioca, the luxury swimwear brand inspired by the vibrance of Rio de Janeiro, is launching a summer 2018 capsule collection with help from the Brazilian illustrator and journalist Paulo Mariotti.
“It was a perfect match,” Mariotti said during the launch of the collection in London on Wednesday. “I presented a series of drawings I did over the years, about Rio and Brazil, drawings I did for myself. Eventually, the designer at Frescobol Carioca approached me, showed me the Carioca Post, and said that we needed to do something together.”
Launching later this month, the capsule collection will feature two styles each of the Frescobol Carioca tailored and sports swim shorts, each printed with either scenes of beach life or sky-scraping architecture. Two printed T-shirts that feature illustrations of the Ipanema and Arpoador beaches also form part of this capsule.
“I did these scenes specially because it’s a brand that’s related to the sea, surfers, the beach and these are images that are very iconic,” Mariotti added.
The use of tonal blues and whites link to Rio’s mosaic works, a major point of inspiration that the brand and the illustrator shared while working on the collection, and as a result the prints reflect

Who says print is dead?
Certainly not the apparel retailers, as veteran Los Angeles designer Trina Turk is linking with Macy’s INC International Concepts line to create a mini-collection showcasing her signature patterns and colors. Launching May 15, the collection will offer an INC spin on both her eponymous women’s line, founded in 1995, and the six-year-old Mr Turk men’s line. While a selection of Turk’s contemporary line is already available in select Macy’s doors, the INC collaboration marks her first entry into Macy’s more accessibly priced arena as well as the first wholesale channel for Mr. Turk.
“Macy’s approached us about a year ago, and we thought it would be fun to get our brands out to wider audience, especially for summer when we can do color and print,” said Turk, whose only previous venture in the more populist space was a Banana Republic tie-up six years ago.
The Trina Turk x INC collection comprises 40 stockkeeping units including apparel, accessories, swimwear and shoes retailing from $ 29.50 to $ 119.50 and the Mr Turk x INC collection is 14 apparel sku’s ranging from $ 14.98 to $ 129.
